I use my horse with children in teaching them about horse safety, discipline, character and Bible Stories. I am trying to teach her to bow and to kneel. Any suggestions? She catches on quickly and seems to like learning new things, especially if there is a "treat" involved! Have any of you used a wireless mike? If so, what kind and do you recommend it?

I have just learned about clicker training. It's a very effective way to communicate with horses because it instantly tells the horse he's corrrect. A horse can learn a step towards your goal in just minutes with accurate feedback. The hardest part is for the trainer to know how to break down a task into easy steps. You can find excellent instructions for clicker training horses by searching online. It really works. Just make sure your treats are quite small. It motivates the horse even more.
Sorry, no experience with wireless mikes. Ask at your local college or university's drama dept.
